There is a LOT on TV about the Revolutionary War recently. Check the History Channel, The American Heros Channel, THe H2 Channel, and the Smithsonian Channel. As a consequence, I'm setting the DVR a lot and spending too much time watching TV and enjoying every minute of it. Lots of snoozing too, which means that I have to watch the program over again!
Yeah, I’ve got “Big History” disks running today, and the episode about domestication of the horse had a Paul Revere seg in it. The series is pretty retarded, but has some good info in it. A little too “gee whiz” and too many broad claims. And of course, even the talking heads work the phrase “Big History” into everything they say. It’s annoying.
